Please provide the steps to reproduce the issue [Bug Report only]

• Install Angular 17.3.2
• Create minimal app example provided below
• Run dev instance ('ng serve')
• Open Angular Devtool + dev console
• Refresh the app page and see runtime exception + missing components in 'Components' tab of Angular devtool

Two conditions need to be met for error to happen - child component need to import CommonModule and ChildComponent needs to be used inside @defer block.

Minimal example code to reproduce:

@Component({
  selector: 'app-childcomponent',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `<div>Child component</div>`,
})
export class ChildComponent {
}

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [ChildComponent],
  template: `
    <div>AppComponent</div>
    @defer (on viewport) {
      <app-childcomponent/>
    } @placeholder () {
      <div>Placeholder</div>
    }
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {
}

This example throws runtime exception. If we remove CommonModule import from ChildComponent there is no runtime exceptions and everything is working as expected.

Please provide the expected behavior vs the actual behavior you encountered [Bug Report only]
